2009 was the year I first read Margaret Oliphant and Mary Elizabeth Braddon - two Victorian novelists that I found I hugely enjoy

.

Gilbert Adair's 'The Act of Roger Murgatroyd' was a lot of fun, as were 'Yellow Blue Tibia' and 'Swiftly' by Adam Roberts.
Richard Herley's 'The Penal Colony' was every bit the page turner that 'Refuge' was; and I'm looking forward to reading more by him in 2010. (Thanks to the MR Book Club for introducing me to him.

)

Most thought-provoking book I read was probably E. M. Forster's 'A Passage to India'. So many layers of meaning, and the patina of age is just adding to its richness.
